Hello,
I´m interested in Noblex 135 but I´m worried regarding the lens
quality. I have tied Horizon and found the quality to be useless. How
better is Noblex 135?

I'm happy with mine. Prints to 40" are sharp enough for
my eye. YMMV.

Well, I had a Horizon and was happy to get rid of it some time ago and now
I own a Noblex 135U and the quality is quite acceptable. I found out that
if one uses a tripod and stops the aperture down to 8 or so, the quality
is good. I am not really excited but I am usually using 120 film and did
not want to get the much large and more expensive 150 Noblex....
To cut the long story short, the quality is fine if you stop down and use
a tripod.

My current Horizon 202 produces extremely sharp images for scenes at
infinity (so long as you don't mind a bit of banding) so I am surpised
at your comment. Were you using it to photgraph scenes at infinity or
closer? I guess there are bad examples of that camera produced.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The Noblex is far from useless, and is quite sharp:

I just bought a Horizon 202S which is the upgraded model sold by KievUSA.
I have shot only one roll of film with it and got very sharp images with
no banding.
